Hanging On to the Last Bit of Fall

After Halloween, I get so tempted to start playing all my favorite Christmas tunes. I love Christmas! But around here we're really trying to enjoy the last bit of fall before winter sets in.
My front porch is still saying "fall is here" thanks to this tutorial. I used fleece remnants for mine.

I'm thinking a white one would be beautiful for winter.

This favorite has made it's way back to our table. If you need more cooking inspiration, try my other all-time favorites.

Even though we haven't started decking the halls here, I've been thinking about the upcoming holiday for awhile. So, just for fun, I'll give you a peek into a few of the Christmas gifts I'll be working on soon. I've started on this for Jack. I'll be relying on my very talented hubby for these. Maggie will be getting one of these. I made a barn for my oldest last year, and it turned out so cute.

About Me

I'm Shelly; mother to four little ones, wife to my high school sweetheart, follower of Jesus. I love all things domestic: cooking, sewing, decorating, and even cleaning. My husband calls me a coffee snob, but I never miss afternoon tea. I have a fabric obsession, and own way more than I can ever use. I'm a bit old-fashioned; I love old jazz music and old films. I love the sight of smoke coming out of a chimney, the smell of the air before a thunderstorm, and I could stare at the night sky for hours.This is where I share bits of inspiration, the loveliness of everyday life, and things God is teaching me in this journey called motherhood.
